Pop idol Rihanna lent glitz and glamour to World Cup 2019 as she turned up in Chester-le-Street to watch the West Indies take on Sri Lanka.

World Cup 2019 has witnessed quite a few star personalities gracing the stadium. The likes of England football coach Gareth Southgate, Bollywood star Ranveer Singh, South superstar Mahesh Babu among others have been seen sighted during matches but none have managed to create the buzz that pop queen Rihanna generated on Monday when she was spotted cheering on the West Indies during the World Cup 2019 clash against Sri Lanka at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street. Despite West Indies' narrow loss, Rihanna seemed in high spirits and was even seen in the Windies dressing room after the game.

Cricket World Cup's twitter handle posted a video of the pop queen meeting the Universe Boss in the West Indies dressing room. Chris Gayle posed for pictures with Rihanna and was also seen giving a signed bat to the pop star.

Sri Lanka batted brightly to post an imposing total of 338 for six in their 50 overs, thanks largely to Avishka Fernando's first One Day International (ODI) century. That total looked beyond the West Indies in the early part of their innings but Nicholas Pooran dug deep, also scoring his maiden ODI ton.

However, it wasn't enough as Sri Lanka held on to register their third win in the tournament.

Rihanna, 31, was last month named the world's richest female musician by Forbes magazine.

In May, she launched a groundbreaking partnership with LVMH to launch a luxury fashion brand based in Paris that will make ready-to-wear clothes, shoes and accessories.
